He tweeted: 'I never commented on Yeezus for my interview portion of Rolling Stone. They also my cover from me last minute and ran the issue.

'I'm disgusted with that. RIP to Philip Seymour Hoffman. All respect due. But the press is evil.'

He later deleted the tweets but posted an additional one as an attempt to apologise.

'I'm done doing interviews for magazines. I just want to give my music to the people. That's the only way my message gets across accurately.'
